art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.
The invention consists in the molding or embedding into the glass-comprising a bottle or demijohn, at the upper portion of the neck thereof, of one or more strands of wire or other suitable material. The wire or wires are passed around the neck and have either free ends of sufficient length to allow of being securely united or joined above the cork or stopper after the same has been put in place in the bottle, or of a loop that is forced over the top of the cork or stopper, and which in each instance holds the latter, so that it cannot be removed without breaking or destroying the wire, so that it cannot be reunited without the fact being apparent.
For a jug or other vessel of earthenware, or any plastic or ceramic material, the wire or other material is embedded therein while the material is soft and plastic during the process of manufacture, and before the Same is fired, baked, or hardened, which latter operation secures it firmly in place.
The object of the invention is to show at a glance, where any bottle, jug, demijohn, or other vessel has been sealed by using this invention, that the seal has been broken, or, in other words, that the original package has been tampered with, and that the contents of the vessel are doubtless spurious. This object is attained by the means described in the following speciflcation and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, and on which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of the neck of the bottle, Showing the wire embedded therein. Fig. 2 is an elevation Vshowing the wire applied around the neck and secured over the cork in full lines and the free ends before being secured in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a like view showing a flange around the bottle-neck below its mouth. Figs. 4 and 5 show slight modifications.
On the drawings like letters of reference refer to corresponding parts in the different views.
A is the bottle-neck; B, the lip around the mouth thereof; C, the wire or cord, and D the cork or stopper.
In the operation of blowing or molding the bottle or other vessel the wire is embedded in the material of the neck or in an annular groove therein formed by the flange (see Figs. 3, 4., and 5) and the lip B. One or more strands may be used, leaving two free ends, as in Fig. 2, which are brought up over the cork or stopper after the latter is in place and the ends are twisted, tied, or otherwise secured together at b orD. The extremities of the wire are left very Short, so that they cannot be unfastened and reused without destroying the Same.
In Fig. 3 I have shown the wire C as formed with loops c c, formed in the wire either at one or both sides of the neck, as shown in full and dotted lines, diametrically opposite each other, and in this instance there is but one free end to the wire, and it is drawn up over the cork or stopper and secured at one side through the loop c,
In the form shown in Fig. 5 the free ends of the wire c" are embedded in the neck of the vessel and a short loop or bail is formed that is swung up over the cork or stopper. In this instance the loop is made so short that it is forced into the body of the cork and cannot be removed without breaking or destroying it.
Other methods of Securing a strand or strands of wire will readily suggest themselves and be within the scope of the invention, which relates to the embedding in the material of the neck of the bottle or about aiiange formed thereon the wire or other fastening which surrounds the neck and is drawn up above the cork.
In some instances the ange is very desirable, as it gives additional strength.
An invention of this character is an exceedingly important one, and one for which there is a great demand, and while a number of patents have been granted to prevent refilling IOO of bottles or other vessels with some spurious compound or' imitation of the contents of the original package, yet most of them have been so expensive to manufacture as to be absolutely prohibitory.
The invention here is neat, practical, effective, and can be manufactured at a minimum cost.
Slight modifications in the form or proportions maybe made Within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A bottle or analogous vessel, having a wire surrounding the neck thereof, embedded in the material of the bottle Which is molded over said Wire, the projecting portions of the latter being adapted to be brought over the top of the cork or stopper and secured in place, so that the bottle cannot be opened Without destroying the fastening, substantially as described.
2. A bottle or analogous vessel, having a groove surrounding the neck thereof, a Wire placed in said groove, the material of the bottle being molded over said Wire, the latter having projecting free ends which are adapted to be brought over the top of the cork or stopper and secured in place so that the bottle cannot be opened Without destroying the fastening, substantially as described.
3. A bottle or analogous vessel, having a groove surrounding the neck thereof, a looped Wire placed in said groove, the material of the bottle molded over said Wire, the latter having projecting free ends adapted to be passed over the cork or stopper and secured in a loop substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
